I think the parsely, might be letting off something that the other two can't handle. i know you should'nt plant parsely by some veggies because of what it letsoff will kill others. Hope that helps

I am growing Basil, Cilantro, Oregano, and Parsley in pots and they are doing great:-) I have them sitting by a window so they get sun most of the day and we have even used a few in some recipes.

I put 1 basil plant into a huge 24 inch pot every spring in the corner of my deck where it gets a full days sun. I've had some grow to be 4 feet tall! I use Miracle Grow potting soil with the plant food mixed in and also pour a gallon of strong…

I plant basil in a pot on my deck every year and as I pinch back the plant, I freeze any leaves I am not using immediately. I use plastic peanut butter jars and I have green basil leaves to use in my recipes all winter. Be sure the leaves are not…

Misty, You would be better off trying something organic on your herbs. Diatomeous earth and/or beneficial nematodes are both suppose to take care of fleas. DE is faster and less expensive but you need to be careful not breathing it and it goes out…

Has anyone used an insect spray that is supposed to be okay to use around herbs up to the day of harvest without effecting the actual herb? I have terrible ant and flea problems around my patio and apparently I am especially tasty to fleas as…

I have grown herbs in pots for several yrs. I start with a plant not seeds as my growing season is too short (Wyoming). I find that I use them alot in the summer in cooking. Nothing like fresh herbs. YOu can't go wrong. I have planted one to a…

Victoria,
My husband and I love to have a constant flow of cilantro - at least all summer. I have been reading about cilantro this season. Apparently when the roots get to a certain temperature that's when it bolts and you lose the cilantro.…

Hi everyone! I love growing my own herbs. When I had a house, I had a huge "fairy mound" of many kinds of herbs covering my front yeard. I'm in an apt with a pation now and haven't done any real gardening in a couple years.…

Make sure you have alot of sun -- they will grow in partial shade but will be smaller. You can grow them together and they will be beautiful. I usually grow different kinds of basils together in one pot and have basil all summer --- we make alot of…

I've had great luck with basil in a giant pot. I can't kill it if I tried. It comes back year after year. I don't mix my herbs together in the same pot. It would work I guess, but I would get confused remembering what's what.…

I have sage in a big pot. My one big pot has come back 3 years in a row. Another thing there is nothing like using fresh sage. It taste great and smells even better.

Here in North Texas, once it gets warm enough, we can almost see the basil grow and it needs to be pinched off almost every day. I'm just starting to have success with my thyme which I really love to cook with too. I really think you may be…
